Sangha

Sangha is a new (free) iOS app communications/calendar app for schools.  This is a great app that gives teachers/parents the same calendar across any platform.  This way educators can schedule anything they want (i.e. parent conferences), classroom reminders, etc. and then parents can sign up via a e-signature form.  Also, teachers can send messages w/ attachments as well as private message others and organizations.

ClassTag

ClassTag is an interesting new site that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers.  ClassTag allows educators to create a class directory and schedule appointments w/ parents.  The way this works is by integrating a calendar feature where educators can create "slots" where parents can then sign-up.  This helps avoid people get signed up for the same time and avoid the use of paper/handouts.  Also, this is a great way to share announcements w/ parents to help remind them of upcoming events.

The Hit List

This will be my last post of the 14 apps that came in the last Mac Heist bundle. I could've done just one post and a short blurb on the items, but I wanted to get in a bit more detail and include the videos/pics that I usually do.... and w/ that, let's take a look at The Hit List.

The Hit List is an app for Mac which is designed to manage lists/to do's/events etc. As most applications for a Mac they have a very nice look and user interface. I was interested to test this out since I usually just use iCal or FC to manage my desktop calendar.

What I like about the Hit List is how many things you can do w/ it such as: iCal syncing, organizing via folders, timers, apple script support, tagging, and so on.

Another great feature is the ability to view your list in a "card" view. This lets you view each event individually (Filemaker users will be familiar w/ this). While I'm not sure if the Hit List will convert me away from my exsisting calendar applications it is definitely a nice change a pace and worth a look.
